A:i resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the eoiintyand State of i\e'w4 York, have invented a new and linproved Safetydlolder for Bottles, Jars,and

lis represented lin the accompanying drawotherlleeeptacles, of which thev following is 'n full. elear,'aiid exat. description.

-holder for liriilk bottles and the like, in-

tended to.he` attached to a siiitahle support and to 'reeive and retain a hottie against unauthorized removal.

A practical-embodiment of the invention ings forming agpai'tY of this speeiti-eai'ion, in which similar eharaeters of referenee indif'at'e ,(airrespoiiding.parts Iiii all the views.

Figure l is ii persiieetive lview of the safety holder for a milk hottle loeked iu position in the holder; Fig. 2 is a transverse section ofthe saine, the bottle, heing shown in dotted lines; and Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a moditied forni of the holder.

,A suitably constructed easing or a traine A is provided with aback B, adapted to lbe fastened to a suitable support C. sueli as a wall, fence, post or the like. The front of the easing A is provided with an opening A for the insert-ion or removal of a reeeptaele l), which is adapted to rest. on a lever l) fuleriimed at. E on the hottoin A of the easing A. The lever E is connected at. its free end with a loop 1" arranged ou a rod l" extending upwardly and ennnteted at its upper end with au eye on the under side of a cover G for the easing,y the eover G being connected hy hinges (`x'' wih the hat-k ll, as plainly indicated in the drawings. )u the forward end of the over G is arranged a snap loek ll, the holt oi" whieh is adapted to engage a keeper l. tastened on the inside of the upper portion A" of the easing A. The under side ot the cover (t is provided with a retainer .l adapted to engage the. upper end of the re '-eptae|e l)`r to hold the reeeptaele against reiuoval t'roin the easing;r A when the cover (i is in a elosed and locked position, as indicated in the drawings. The retainer J is preferably in the, torni of a semi-circular tt-.inge for in-losin; r the iipper front and side portions ot` the, reeeptaele l);- in whieh flange is arranged a horizontal partition J adapted to "njgagje the top ot' the receptacle l).v

'l`lie rod ti` is .pressed on hy :i spring K' restingv at .its lower end on the hot'toiu and abutting with its ripper end oiia eollar l"'' altar-hed io the rod l"1 sothat when the over (l isiinloeked and tht` hottle, l) is removed froin the easing then the sp ing li swings the over (l into au open positi'oinas indicated in dotted lines in l"i;f. 2.

l) ean he readily plaeed into the easing,r ol' removed therefrom. l`he rod l is extended through the hottoni of the easing' A. and

with a handle l"'adapted to he taken hold of hy thepersou Ypla'fiiig the reeeptaele l) into the easing `lt is understood that after the i'eeeptaele l) is plaeed'iii the easing the weight of the reeeptaele -tends to .swing the lever l'l downward; the downward inoveiuent ol` ,the lever. ho\\'evei'...ean he aided hy the, person' plaeiii;r the l'iottle in the reeept'aelee and pressing the. handle F down- When the over (t is in this position, the ieeeptaele Athil lower outer end of the rod is provided ward. .\'ow when the level' ll swings do\vii ward and the rod l" slides downward, then a downward swinging iuovenient is given to the eover (l. whereby the latter is movedY into a elosed position and the snap holt:y of the Ioek ll readily engages the keeper [if so as to lof-.k the eover in elosed position. When the eover (l swings into a closed position then the retainer .l engages the .upper end of the, reeeptaele l), and consequently thel i'eeeptaele l) ea'nnot, lie removed from the easing A by unauthorized persons. 'lhe alithorized `person hy the use of a key eau readily open the look tl and swing theeover G open for removal of the reeeptaele l) from the easingr A. l

The hack l iuay he extended as indicated in Fig. 3, to forni a support B for another receptacleI I. adapted to contain a smaller bottle, jar oi' a'tike reeeptaele, l. vvln praetiee, the reeeptaele. l) is a. qnai't bottle, while the ieet-.ptaele l) is a pint liottle.

'l`lie safety holder shown-and descrita-d is very simple and durable in eoiistruetioii and ean be cheaply nianufaetured.

Having thus deserilwd luy invention, I elaiin as new und desire to set-.ure by hitters latent.: Y
